輪到老孫 “Now It's Old Sun's Turn”
那道士四聲令牌已畢，卻輪到老孫上去幹事了。但我不會發符、燒檄，打甚令牌，你列位卻要助我行行。」鄧天君道：「大聖吩咐，誰敢不從？那道士四声令牌已毕，却轮到老孙上去干事了。但我不会发符、烧檄，打甚令牌，你列位却要助我行行。」邓天君道：「大圣吩咐，谁敢不从？
逐句解 Line by line
That Daoist has finished his four strokes of the command-tablet, and now the turn falls to old Sun to go up and do the business.
那道士: 那 = nà. 四聲令牌已畢 "the four tablet-strokes are done." 輪到 "the turn comes round to."
But I do not know how to issue talismans, burn writs, or strike any command-tablet — so you gentlemen must help me carry it through.”
不會: the falling tone of 會 pulls 不 to bú. 打甚令牌: 甚 = shén, "any, what." 助我行行: 行 = xíng, help me carry it through. He is quite honest about it: he has none of the equipment and does not know the procedure.
Marshal Deng said, “At the Great Sage's bidding, who would dare not comply?
吩咐 "an instruction, an order given." 誰敢不從: the rising tone of 從 keeps 不 at bù -- "who would dare not comply?"
Having commandeered heaven, Wukong runs into a practical snag: he cannot work a rite. No talismans, no writs, no tablet, no idea how any of it is done.
Marshal Deng's answer settles the question of authority for good -- at the Great Sage's bidding, who would dare not comply? -- while leaving the practical one wide open. The gods will obey; they simply need to be told when.
That is the problem the next passage solves, and the solution is the neatest joke in the chapter.
